With players in and out more often than the last decade, any United fans would doubt if they can witness the return of the championship to Old Trafford soon. One problem that sticks out like sore thumb is the goalkeeping "extravaganza". I've even listed some of the erratic 'goalies' who i personally think were just a waste of time at M.U.F.C.
Ah.. The bald one. Who can forget his antics between the posts? I don't know if it's just me, but i always seem to notice that he doesn't like to be near the goal mouth. Probably getting all too excited watching his team mates running around and wanted to join in. Too bad he keeps forgetting that he's the GOALIE! Impressive in his first season, but a disgrace in the following seasons. Sustainability, not impression, is what is missing here.
Next in line in MY 'shit list' of M.U's past goalies is Massimo Taibi. And yea, he's the one who let the ball slipped through his grasp and feet and into his own net in a match i really didn't bother to recall. Shipped out of the club before you can even say "FUCK".
Lastly, Raimond Van der Gouw. Didn't really make an impact on the squad. Wasn't impressed at all by him. Just a waste of time and also a failed experiment of finding the right one to fill Peter Schemeichel's big boots.
*sigh* Those were the good old days. When M.U were labeled the 'comeback kings'. Personally, Peter Schemeichel was the best 'keeper ever to have graced the Old Trafford. Sorely missed indeed, he set a standard so high that i even doubt the future goalkeepers could even achieve half of what he had given to Man Utd. Till now, he remains one of only a handful of ex-red devils who deserved to be called.... a legend.
